K. Halbey. Influence of meteorological phenomena on epileptics. Einflusse meteorologischer Erscheinungen auf epileptische Kranke. Algemen. Zeitschrift. Fur Psychiatric Bd. LXII, S. 252 (1910)

Abstract

The author within 12 months noted the number of seizures in 10 epileptics; most of them did not receive large amounts of bromide preparations at this time, and only two were prescribed permanent bromine treatment. Based on his observations, the author draws the following conclusions: the composition of atmospheric air, its temperature, amount of light, cloudiness, air humidity and precipitation do not have any effect on the frequency of epileptic seizures. Rapidly occurring fluctuations in barometric pressure appear to be related to the occurrence and frequency of seizures in epileptics.
